    Very strange. I succesfully executed the script from D:\Temp\Windows Update.
    Make sure the script, the WUMT elements and Wub.exe are located in the same directory.

    I was just wondering why everytime I use this that WUMT starts with the updates set to 'Automatically'? Even if I change it to 'Notification Mode' it sets back to auto the next time I boot the script.

    Because the script sets the windows update service to automatic before it runs wumt which sets wumt to automatic. But with updates disabled you'd never get a notification anyway, not with this script. To enable notification mode you'll need a different solution. This project has always been about fully manual updates like xp and 7 can do, so that the windows update service uses zero bandwidth, cpu, and disk thrashing unless I ask it to. Maybe somebody can recommend a solution for you for notifications..

    So when it's set to auto, that doesn't mean once wumt finds updates it will auto install them?

    No, it auto checks for updates and then lets you hide the updates you don't want, and select and install the ones you do.

    hi @pf100 i want to setup custom windows update setting in my family members win 10 laptops. my goal is to block updates completely and only allow defender automatic updates without running any script manually bcoz some members arent very technical and may not like running script manually.. is there any method available for achieving that goal.

    The last time I checked about a month ago, Windows Defender can update while this script has updates disabled. Defender doesn't use the windows update service to update.

    That's exactly what I mean, but icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /inheritance:r /remove "Administrators" "Authenticated Users" "Users" "System" doesn't work for me in administrator command prompt.

    did you try to run "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate -MMPC and see what happens?
